She never thought she'd end up here. Both literally and metaphorically, because honestly, who expects to end up in another dimension? Everything about this place, from the people and strange celebratory culture and concept that magic actually existed, were all things that Chloe was still getting used to. Hell, she's still coming to term that her partner is the Devil. And that they had a... connection. Something that tied them together, something that made her special, apparently, though she still doesn't understand it.

That's why she's been trying to look into it. The idea of 'miracle children' is something she is familiar with in the most basic of terms; it doesn't quite sit well with her being called one, considering the connotations that brings up. But it's enough for her to want to know. To want to make sense of something senseless.

So when she returns to the room she shares with the others, she takes note of the changed organization immediately. Specifically the separation of the Bible and her other files. A sigh escapes her lips for the barest of moments before she moves in to reach for the Bible, opening it and eying the notes she'd made in the margins.

Even if she suspects he's not trying to be nosy, she has a feeling he's curious. "Ed?" she calls out. "You here?"

At first she's tempted to scold him about going through other people's things without asking, but his explanation and demeanor has her settling. It's not out of the question that he'd find her personal notes considering the work they'd been doing together and free reign they'd given over helping each other out, after all.

Still, she can't help but feel a little awkward about it. A little self-conscious, maybe, if only because she's always been a vocal skeptic and wouldn't consider herself a follower of God even though she knows He exists now. It's hard to admit that she's doing a weird kind of genealogy report on herself with the help of her trusty Bible.

She clears her throat and shifts a little, sighing before placing the Bible back on the desk. "Did you read any of the notes? The ones I left with the book, I mean. Or wrote in the margins."

Nico's never been on a date. There was a time when he would've loved to be taken out, but that had been in the past, when he was in love with the son of Poseidon. Here, in quarantine, however, there was just him and he's been over Percy for several months ( so he tells himself ). So Nico never thought someone would bid on him, much less Ed. It's a surprise that made him wonder what Ed had in mind, but when the day came, Nico was ready.

He didn't dress any different, didn't even think to change out of his ripped jeans. As far as Nico was concerned, this was just a friends kind of thing and he didn't even know what Ed had in mind. Still, as they approached the restaurant, Nico was surprised to see it was a burger joint. Apparently, Ed had put thought into this and knew what Nico liked. When they sat down and were given their menus, Nico was quick to look at it. The types of burgers were numerous and there was a plethora of other goodies he could pick from. But it was Ed's comment that made him lift his eyes over his menu to regard the older man.

"Yeah, but there's different kinds. Like, look," he said, leaning over the table to point at one item. "This one has mushrooms and Swiss cheese. But this one has bacon. This place is actually pretty cool."

"Appetizers?" Nico hadn't even considered that. Looking over the menu Ed offered, he frowns a little to himself. Already, Ed had spent money to purchase this date and was going to spend more for the food, and that made Nico feel a little bad. He wasn't hurting for money in any way, and since he figured this was more of a friends kind of thing, he should chip in. So he looked up at Ed and tilted his head.

"I can pay for my half of the check," he explained briefly before looking down at the menu again. As far as he knew, the prices were reasonable and he could easily afford anything on the menu. He didn't want to assume anything about Ed, though, so he waited patiently for Ed's response before deciding on whatever he might want from the appetizer menu.

alkahestic: (when he catches his reflection)

[personal profile] alkahestic 2017-08-15 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Sleep is still a luxury for Al, so much so that he's gotten used to being up at night. But with his bed so close to his brother's, it's impossible to miss the way a nightmare takes him in his sleep. He's seen it so many times, having had to watch on nights when his armor body was incapable of sleep. Now, however, he's flesh and blood, thanks to his brother's sacrifice, and seeing the way Ed begins tossing and turning, Al is quick to shift closer. At least, as close as he can until Ed shoots up in bed, trembling and shaking. The scream resonates in Al's ears and he flinches, trying to shake away the sound. It's so different from when Ed would startle awake while he was armor. It's more visceral this time and Al's heart aches for his brother as a result.

So he shifts closer still, all but wrapping himself around Ed as his brother sobs. It's heart wrenching and heart breaking all at once and if Al could, he'd lift whatever burden was weighing down his brother's shoulders. But he also knows Ed needs a moment to figure out where he is and who he's with. Which means quiet murmuring from Al, reminding Ed that he's there and not going anywhere.

"It's okay, Brother. I'm right here. It's okay..." he whispers, hoping to soothe Ed and calm him.
alkahestic: ('cause everything's so wrong)

[personal profile] alkahestic 2017-08-25 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Al can tell there's something going on with Ed. He's always been able to tell, even if his brother kept secrets from him. Try as Ed might to hide his emotions, they were always visible in his features, especially his eyes. Like now, as Ed struggles to compose himself, Al can tell that something is up. It must have something to do with the nightmare he'd had and Al wants nothing more than to comfort him.

The past couple days of Ed being more relaxed around him had felt like a dream, a blessing. But as he sees that tenseness shift into Ed's features, that paranoia and hardness, Al fears that that period of peace is over. And he hates that.

Carefully, he keeps himself wrapped around Ed, but also giving him space enough tou pull away if he wants to. He won't force himself on Ed, and if Ed needs more room to breathe or gather himself together, Al is ready to offer it.

"You didn't wake me," he says, equally as quiet as Ed had been. "I was already awake. Tell me what's wrong?"

hititwithacrowbar: (Jason - ditching venom)

TRIXIE

[personal profile] hititwithacrowbar 2017-08-15 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
When the amnesia wore off one Mr. Todd was in the worst mood he had been into date. He had gone to work just because he knew he had to. When he came in that night he tore the uniform top off throwing it on his bed and changing into his black leather pants and his button up red shirt, only half buttoned up. With a cigarette between his lips unlit he made his way back out into the main room.

His hands rested on his hips. "Fuck this, I need a fucking drink." He all but grumbled snatching up his leather jacket and headed for the door. He had only waited as long as he had because he wasn't about to explain 10am drinking...

After a quick stop to talk to Edward he lead him towards the club his younger brother, and the man he had grown rather close to, owned. And now that he knew one of his brother's was gone, and the other two were hurting in their own ways he decided to do the thing he had always done. Pretend nothing happened and just go drink his feelings. He had lit the cigarette once they were outside, he was on the second one as they made their way inside, shifting long enough to flick it off into the street and headed inside after saying his name to the doorman, if he wasn't on a list he'd cover it, but somehow he felt Tim or Loki would have put him there even if he had yet to show his face since the first night.

After the fiasco of losing his memories, Nico's been a bit withdrawn. But that doesn't mean he isn't working when he's supposed to. He's working now, standing outside of Trixie at his usual place as the bouncer. His sword is on his hip and his arms are crossed over his chest, but it's his expression that's keeping people wary of him. It's dark, darker than what Ed or Jay may have yet seen. Having to relive the time before his sister's death has made all the old anger and pain return and without his usual friends to support him ( like percy, like reyna, like jason, like his half-sister, hazel ), he has no outlet. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be scaring many people off yet. And his shift is nearly over, so when he sees Ed and Jay approach, he does his best to hide his darker feelings and relax. It's not a very successful endeavor, but at least he doesn't look like he's about to murder someone.

"No smoking in the club," he said as they got closer. His arms haven't dropped from over his chest, but if Jay gives him guff, he'll have to act. Even if his shift is almost over, he still has to do this.

Edward knew him to well already, the second his words left his mouth Jason rolled his eyes, taking a deeper draw and let the smoke roll out as he said the exact words. "I've already died, why would I give a shit?" One more drag was taken before he heard Nico, giving him a flat look before he opened his fist and let it fall. Crushing it out with his boot, he shoved his hands in his pockets then and shrugged. "I was done anyway."

Sure, he wouldn't mind trouble, but he didn't mind Nico, he wouldn't lash at him just cause he's in a bad mood. "Quick question, Nic, is it true Drakes left?" Tim was the manager, or coworker, something like that, he didn't remember exactly, but Timbers and Loki being the ones the ran the place was part of why he didn't come besides opening night. He was bad at dealing with his family, and now one of them was gone. Something about Nico today made the hackles on his neck rise, he still hadn't figured out quiet what it was that always gave him the heebie jeebies about the guy, but he refused to let fear rule him.

tempredmental: (Ready to Defend)

Somewhere In the Communal Building, probably Floor 6 >.>

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-08-17 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Keith had been curious since seeing it during their trip to the temple. At first, he honestly had thought it was just a blade, similar to his bayard, that Ed was wielding against the monsters. It hadn't really seemed like anything terribly different when spotted in the movement of a fight. But he'd gotten a closer look in the temple. It was hard to miss, really, and the fact that it was metal made it a lot like Shiro's arm. He had avoided bringing it up in the depths of their trip because he knew it would have been distracting at the moment, but to just pretend to ignore it wasn't exactly great either. He at least wanted Ed to know that he'd seen it.

So, he went looking for him. When they came across each other, he raised his hand slightly to get the other's attention.

"Hey... can we talk?"
tempredmental: (Eyebrow Quirk)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-08-18 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, Keith's motivations were more advice-driven than anything else. He had questions and concerns that he was worried about asking Shiro directly.

"Uh, no. I'm fine." He shrugged a little. "I just... Um... do you mind if I ask you about your arm?"

Might as well start there. He didn't want to dive into questions right away if that was upsetting. He'd at least give Ed the chance to back out.

mysophobic: (16 - glance)

Garden!

[personal profile] mysophobic 2017-08-18 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
So Shigeru still retained all his memories minus remembering the fact that he was a mysophobe. So without gloves and without a care in the world of germs or touching people or plants he set off to the garden to do some drawing and for some R&R.

It's here that Ed will find him lounging on the ground, his drawing pad nestled in his lap, as he draws the beautiful scenery around him. He seems pretty invested in his work so getting his attention might required a slight tap to startle him.
mysophobic: (95 - stupefy)

[personal profile] mysophobic 2017-08-20 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
In the same instance Shigeru might startle and scramble to his feet, his pencil fumbling in his fingers as he holds his drawing pad close to his chest. He'll regain his composure rather quickly though and then give a sheepish smile and laugh. ]

I'm sorry! It just feels...more natural to sit on the ground and draw. You're not hurt are you?

His eyes might do a preliminary glance but Ed seems pretty fine so far.

alkahestic: (and i don't belong)

general store

[personal profile] alkahestic 2017-08-26 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Is there a place to sleep here?

[ there's only one bed, he realizes. in his mind, he's already expecting them to share it, but he wonders if ed will object. it's not like they haven't shared a bed before. they often did as children, and when he was still armor, but now is a little different. recalling how ed tends to sleep in only his shorts, much like al ( though he wears a tank top too ), al feels his cheeks begin to warm. quickly, he turns away to not let on his embarrassment ( and wondering why he's even embarrassed at all ), he sets aside the broom and leans down to transmute the dust into the floor.]

How should we set things up? [ said as he focuses on his transmutation. ]
alkahestic: (if i could fall into the sky...)

[personal profile] alkahestic 2017-08-26 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ a cot? that immediately pulls a frown from al. though he knows ed can sleep just about anywhere, he's not about to let his brother sleep somewhere uncomfortable when there's a perfectly good bed they can share, his own embarrassment aside. he doesn't think it's right, especially after everything ed has been through and experienced. and there's his automail to think about, which would certainly be uncomfortable after a night on a cot. al knows this from experience.

he puts his hands on his hips and almost glares at his brother, disregarding the talk about supplies and inventory. this, in his mind, is more important. ]


You're not sleeping on a cot, Brother. We can just share, okay?
